Alright runners, dog lovers and fans of the blog, the time for action is here. Let's all do a good deed and get involved with Animal Shelter Appreciation Week. Julie and I are organizing a donation drive, running for the next two weeks, called Presents 4 Pets. We will be collecting collars, towels, cleaning supplies, treats and toys for cats and dogs for donation to BARC (Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition). The event is in honor of National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week which runs from November 1st -7th. Animal shelters are very near and dear to our hearts. Many of our clients are rescued, as well as Julie's dog Mylo and my kitten Tobias (who is pictured here in all his adorable glory). Donations can be new or gently used. Shelters rely heavily on their community to keep them up and running so let's help out ours through this event. All the information you need to get involved is right here.Help animals in need!

Our country's shelters are in such desperate need for supplies; funds and donations are down, and pet surrenders are up. Every little bit helps, and the efforts Mandy and Julie are making to help shelter pets are invaluable!
